I notice that one of my rabbit isnt pooping. I cleaned out her tray yesturday and there isnt not one poop berry in there. I gave her some hay and she just sits there. Her food isnt moving in her gut. I do know that she will die if i dont do something. BUt what. I need help fast.

I don't know much about rabbits (even though I have a buck) but I'm guessing you can give her a probiotic to get her gut working.

UPDATE....I just gave her a crushed up tums mixed in water in a syringe. I forced in her . Her belly is very big. I massage it to try to get the air out. I am giving her an hour and go back and check on her again. Giving more water in a syringe. I am trying to safe this rabbit. Should i try something else. ? Or maybe another tums.I think she is bloated. I have to get that gas out.

I only know about goats but sometimes baking soda and a small amount of water takes care of bloat.

Be careful with a rabbit though because you may want to give a small amount of baking soda.

I am not sure if I would have done the tums, unless you know for sure they can have them. I know it will make a birds tummy explode because they can't pass gas. Sorry I don't have anything else that you can try, I don't know much about rabbits and bloating.

Are you sure it's bloat? Could maybe be an obstruction. Like a hair ball?

My only suggestion with a bunny that's not pooping is to see a Rabbit Vet. All I know is that when a bunny is sick, they will not show how sick they are until it's way into the illness. And not pooping is serious.

Wishing you luck with your sick bunny.

Being commercial i dont bring them o the vet. I go to the vet to get meds. If they will sell to me. Other than that i try myself. I dont want any rude comments about not bring her to the vets.I have to check on her this morning to see if she ate anything throught the night. I will be givng her mineral oils morning and tonight. She still fights with me to take her out of the cage. WHich is a good thing/ MY fingers are cross for her eating .

For the bloating, Yes she was. She isnt anymore. The gas x worked, If things are not moveing in the gut. It builds up gas. Rabbits are allot like horses. If you can give meds to a horse. You can most of the time give it to a rabbit.
